Mike Seagraves to Bring More Choice to Local Mortgage Origination Industry

DENVER – Motto Mortgage, an innovative mortgage brokerage franchise and the second member of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RMAX) family of brands, announced that Mike Seagraves, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Alliance in Dayton, Ohio, has purchased the first Motto Mortgage franchise in the state.

“I’m thrilled and honored to be the first Motto Mortgage franchisee in the Buckeye State,” said Seagraves. “One of my aspirations has always been to own a local mortgage company. The decision to open a Motto Mortgage franchise which is supported by ongoing education, training and operational support was an easy one for me. I’m very eager to introduce the brand to our local marketplace and bring more mortgage options to the Dayton area.”

Motto Mortgage officially launched on Oct. 25, 2016. The franchisor, Motto Franchising, LLC, is selling mortgage franchises in most of the U.S. Motto Mortgage is expected to bring more choice and a better experience for consumers. Its loan originators work with real estate agents to help homebuyers obtain the mortgage loans that best fit their individual needs.

“We congratulate Mike for wanting to improve the loan origination industry in the greater Dayton area by offering consumers more options and an exceptional experience when shopping for mortgages,” Motto Mortgage President Ward Morrison said. “Opening a Motto Mortgage franchise will bring more skilled loan originators to the local marketplace.”

Motto Mortgage inspires new specialists to join the profession by offering them tools, resources and proximity to a real estate brokerage and its agents. Homebuyers can work with a real estate agent to find a home, and with a Motto Mortgage loan originator to secure financing in offices at one location. Motto Mortgage loan originators will not be bound to the products of one specific lender but will have access to competitive loan options from various sources.

Seagraves is a 14-year veteran of the greater Dayton real estate industry and is utilizing his many years of valuable experience as a RE/MAX agent and broker/owner to open a Motto Mortgage franchise. RE/MAX Alliance currently features 50 real estate agents and services the areas of Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Greene and Warren counties. All three RE/MAX Alliance offices specialize in residential real estate.
